About this book
The Young Adventurer; or, Tom's Trip Across the Plains is by Horatio Alger. The text says that in the year 1850 Tom made up his mind to leave home and seek a fortune, and that the papers were full of the new gold discoveries. Tom had read a good deal about California, and the text says it would cost at least two hundred dollars to reach the Pacific coast.
Squire Hudson is named as the one man in Wilton who might lend Tom the money if he would. Tom was not brought to trial, and Mr. Waterbury's statement of what had passed on the voyage of the River Belle was held to be sufficient to establish Tom's innocence. Tom's friend asks whether Tom has anything to do this morning, and invites Tom to come around and dine at the Burnet House, with a call upon the Watsons afterward.
